i have just recently cleaned my upper engine with Subaru Upper Engine Cleaner (great stuff) and afterwards i have been having a high idle problem. She idles at between 1400 and 2000 all the time, drops to 1k for about half a second every now and then (is this that hunting thing people talk about?). Now the way i used the cleaner was to remove the intercooler pipe at plenum. i have checked pipes around the place but none loose or off , so i cant seem to find air leak. and i didnt play with AFMs or AAC or anything like that.

I dont know what to do :D

Any help would be....well....helpful

Thanks

Ciao

Could be an air leak around throttles. They are very sensitive to this kind of thing. The have a sealant around them fromt he factory to prevent any air leaking past. I ended up geting new butterflies cut. i'll have to see how it goes once it back together. Should be good as new

    • Took it to all Japan day, flogged the hell out of it and took it all, am a very very happy man  don’t know how that ended up in Greg’s thread before
    • Hey Nismo, any chance in the world you still have these seats?
    • I'd say closer to OG GTX3582R, just smaller trim - so 59mm inducer/82mm exducer as opposed to 62/82 for the first gen GTX3582R. Yeah EFRs were boss, the EFR8474 is still an absolute beast and it perplexes me that people still go to things like Turbosmart/Garrett etc when the results people are getting with those are pretty unremarkable compared to what you could get with a turbo available well before those options came out.  DriftSquid (I think) "upgraded" from an EFR9174 to a Turbosmart turbo and promised a comparison video - and kinda shuffled awkwardly and did a bit of diversion from the fact that they didn't get any improvement going to the currently massively hyped brand of turbo from a turbo that was a bit of a frankenstein that had been well superceded in it's own range before the Turbosmart unit he put on there even came out. I suspect the EFR would outperform most Xonas for what a lot of less-insane RB owners would go for, in the 400-600kw range but the Xonas are looking hard to beat up to maybe in the mid 700kw range at this stage- basically where EFRs don't really reach, and before the Precision turbos take over.  What the Xonas do well in the "EFR range" is be easier to package etc, and work very well if a divided housing doesn't suit your application.  
    • Are you sure the gasket is blown? What are the issues? Thermocure is the only flush I've seen do anything with rust, very impressed with that, Prestone, rust will be by the pool having a cigarette.  
    • And since the flush you have a blown head gasket? Have you lifted the head off yet?
